Crazy happenings really. Lenagan takes months to appoint 'the right person' in Waddock then sacks him after about eight games. Not sure that Appleton has more to offer than Waddock...at least Waddock has achieved promotions in his carreer. No mention in the club's statement about putting cash into the squad.

Waddock wasn't really the right man we know he was the cheapest on offer... And to be fair his record last season wasn't filling me with confidence for this!

There is also no point of appointing an investor that hasn't got cash to inject in to the club.

Positive all round if you ask me...

He wasn't the cheapest, he was second choice/best. A friend I see every week has a friend who's family companion was on the touchline every match and was told that Waddock wasn't the first choice.

Hmmmmmm. Not sure bringing in a bloke with 3 previous clubs managed and a best win rate of 26% is going to help to move us forward. I suppose, in his defence, he wasn't around for long at most of them.

......just tapped out a few figures and, in fact, if he equals his best ever win rate (26%) and draws the average number of games from last season (15) it would leave us with 52 points which would have put us 21st last year...Northampton Town's position, uncanny. Oh well, I'm sure he's going to turn into Sir Alex all of a sudden and have the league sewn up by Christmas.

Ferguson's very successful teams occasionally won the league with more than two games to go - nonetheless a more pleasant low grade version of the incredibly successful mr grumpy would be much better than a CW , GW or who we will get

Hopefully we will get some decent players in prior to the season starting. We can only judge the changes over a full season as it takes time to get players in and working together. I am sure Lenegan will sell up next summer providing things have gone well over the next year. It is clear he will gradually come out. Funny managerial change again. I Would expect many player changes and staff over the next 12 months. The key thing is that we see attractive winning football at home. The league this coming campaign is going to be tougher.

Hopefully, we can now get some GOOD players in & let's this NEW Manager do something useful with the increased investment. How good would it be if we could take control of the stadium & put in the 4th stand.

Need to see some new players brought in though
and Appleton is highly regarded in coaching circles not left the
upper echelons of the FA. Big Darren Moore will be great assistant to him.

Let Lenagan concentrate on the new stadium project at Water Eaton
Let kassam build his houses and maybe the council/FK will invest some of the profits into a community stadium besides the A34. It loo s a good location - plenty of development will happen there over the next couple of years.

Just watched Eales and Ashton on Yellow Player
and I was encouraged.

At last!!! This is major news for our club and, on the face of it, potentially a winning future for the club. More investment, a major focus on OUFC's stadium and new blood and expertise. I can feel that breath of fresh air sweeping over my face as I am typing.

Now, if we can start signing some decent players to back-up this potential hopefully the fans will start flocking back to the games.

Whatever your opinion re GW, he has been treated terribly by OUFC. Its a ruthless business that's for sure.

You must be joking. Ashton has already made it plain he thinks we have the basis of a good squad so that says changes and additions will be minimal. As regards Lenagan departing next season, I don't think so as he says part of the reason for him standing aside is because he's now on the FA and Football League Boards, if he sells up totally then he can't be on those boards and his ego needs that massage. Let's all hope the club does benefit in some way from the new blood though. We deserve it,!
